Exploring the Social Ledger: Negative Relationships and Negative Asymmetry in Social Networks in Organizations
研究工作组织中负面关系的作用，基于负面不对称理论，提出负面关系比正面关系更能解释工作结果，旨在完善社会网络的“社会账本”。
We explore the role of negative relationships in the context of social networks in work organizations. Whereas network researchers have emphasized the benefits and opportunities derived from positive interpersonal relationships, we examine the social liabilities that can result from negative relationships in order to flesh out the entire “social ledger.” Deriving our argument from theory and research on negative asymmetry, we propose that these negative relationships may have greater power than positive relationships to explain workplace outcomes
